We left Don's at 8 and were able to make 60 miles by lunch after stopping in China ( we're fast right), with little excitement. As we sat eating (blue snowcone) there was an accident. No one was hurt but both cars were not drivable. The feasco that followed was the best part. The first responders were there in seconds but multiple other police, fire, and ems vehicles from other areas or private co's soon arrived. There was also a mad rush made by the tow trucks. There were at one point 4 ambluances, 2 fire trucks and 6 tow trucks at the scene. This whole time people are cutting threw the gas station parking lot and no one is directing traffic at the intersection. We were just waiting for another accident. Luckily this did not happen and it was cleared up after about and hour and we were ready to hit the road again.
The road was busy but other then a few idiots we had no issues. On lady told us to get on the sidewalk but I'm not sure where that was, I guess there are invisible sidewalks in Houston.
We got in and talked with Jim untill sue got home. Sue made a good dinner and we got to relax a bit with them and their friend Jill. Again we have been blessed with great host. In total we road 88 miles today.
Tomorrow we are meeting up with another Jim and hopefully getting Charlie a new wheel, it may be an interesting day.
My Uncle Charlie and I will be biking across the southern USA Starting March 10th. Once reaching CA Charlie will stop but I will then continue north and back across the north. Below is a map that shows an idea of what our route will be, as we are planning it on the road. The map will have uploads of our track as we go. We will greatly appreciate any place to stay and any suggestions of places to visit. Thank you, Austin Fox

ReplyDeleteAustin,
ReplyDeleteFor some reason your PHOTOGRAPHS of the Hash tour, etc... have disappeared, not sure exactly how.
Yet, I thought you would want to know because I believe you guys would like to keep all of your photograph memories.
Blessings,
Melissa xo
Thanks Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI just took a look and I think they are all still there. I did fix the link to my albums because I found it didn't work right(may have caused you not to see them all).
Austin
